(Fremont Kwik Shop) to erect a pole sign in the Downtown Commercial Zoning District or a monument sign within the vision clear triangle at 710 North Broad Street, Fremont, Dodge County, Nebraska. Planning Director Harkins reviewed the staff report, noting the differences between the two signs and why the applicant is asking for the variance. Building Inspector Simon noted that staff felt the pole sign provided some additional vision clearance compared to the ground monument, but that either one would be about 5 feet into the vision clearance triangle. Moved by Sawyer, seconded by Friedrich to recommend approval of a variance for a pole sign within the DC zoning district that is within the vision clearance triangle. Roll Call Vote showed all members present voting aye – 5 ayes. Motion Carried. Meeting adjourned at 4:50 p.m. 1
